I wonder if anyone could advise me, I have been trying to get a cheap replacement from an on-line breaker (times are hard!) but he tells me there are a number of different possibilities for this car, and the wrong one won't fit. The one on the car is a 40A Denso unit. Are there really pitfalls here? Is there any way to get the existing one repaired cost effectively? This is an important little run about for us but unfortunately we don't have any money to spend on it just now.

any 899 altertnator would do the job. could be from cinq or sei

Thank you your help much appreciated
